About Me

I was "Banded" on July 20, 2010 at my highest weight and had a very successful experience, making my goal weight and maintaining for 3 years. Unfortunately, my band slipped in February 2013, I had to have it removed. Fast forward to 2014, after gaining 60+ pounds, I got approved for a VSG and have had moderate success with the sleeve.

I have really tried to "reset" my thinking about everything lately. This is my journey to really learn how to live a more joyful and fulfilling life that is not dictated by a number on a scale as a means of success.

Almost 2 Weeks with a Banana Belly!

Time flies when you have a small belly (inside that is.... the outside part looks mostly not smallish...).
I have not had any solid food since January 8th.  I really am not hungry, but just bored.  Broth, carnation sugar-free shake with skim milk, water, jello.  Blahhhhh.

I have watched more movies, on TV and going to the theater in the past 3 weeks than I have in 3 years! Great escape though.

See my surgeon on Wednesday at 10:30AM!  Gonna see my sleeve buddies R and D too!  Think we might even go and have our first mushy meal together like a team!  I am thinking scrambled eggs.  I actually dream about scrambled eggs.  Then I am off on a business trip that will include 2 customer meetings. I am not looking forward to that but have planned out some choices.  Vegetable soup (just the broth part) mild broiled fish.   I can move things around on the plate to look like I ate and I am a yapper so if I talk a lot, maybe they won't notice.

  • Energy pretty good. 
  • Incisions itch like the devil.
  • Water bottle by my side all day long and still I struggle to get my 64oz in.

Weight holding steady at 180.  Expected a stall.  Going to ask Rob to hide the scale for the week.  I saw a cool saying on one of the OH Forums that said, "Weigh and measure your food, not yourself." Like it!
